Datasheet

Vishay today introduced a new series of HI TMP TANTAMOUNT surface-mount solid tantalum chip capacitors that are the industry's first such devices to offer a capacitance value of 10 µF at 12 V or 21 V and 500 hours of continuous operation at + 200 °C, without the need for voltage derating. The closest competing device offers a maximum operating voltage of only 5 V.

By providing much higher temperature capabilities than the industry standard + 150 °C or + 175 °C, the TH5 provides designers with a price-competitive and reliable option for very high-temperature applications. The capacitors are optimized for oil exploration and drilling sensing systems; industrial applications related to the control of high-temperature materials; safety-critical industrial tools and products; and automotive applications.

The TH5 series is offered in a molded package in the 7.3 mm by 4.3 mm E case size (EIA 7343-43) with a 4 mm profile. The devices offer an operating temperature range of - 55 °C to + 200 °C, and capacitance tolerances of ± 10 % and ± 20 %.

The capacitors are 100 % surge current tested and feature gold-plated terminations. The RoHS-compliant devices are suitable for high-volume automatic and manual pick-and-place equipment, and they are capable of withstanding lead (Pb)-free soldering reflow conditions.
